Guest Reviews

Tracey
Amazing property, fantastic grounds, very private would love to hire again. We were a party of nine, three generations aged 66 years to 3, the property was suitable for all ages, The property owner has been thoughtful with stair gates and and furnishings, and was very helpful,repairing the outside tap so we could have a paddling pool for our younger ones. The older grandchildren spent many happy hours on the tennis court and climbing trees. The house is very spacious with beautiful features we could not all sit around the kitchen table, but the stunning dining room, more than made up for that. The location is perfect for exploring with sherringham, Croma and Holt nearby. We did take bikes but the road was not really suitable for cycling with children. I would highly recommend this property.
Sally
A perfect location for a family celebration with three generations
Phil
A very spacious and well appointed property with fabulous gardens. Worked perfectly for our family gathering of 11 ranging from 3 years old to 61 years old. Pretty much everything you could need or want is catered for and it allowed us to enjoy a fantastic long weekend break with the whole family together.
Christine

Deborah
We had a wonderful week at Spacious Detached House for 12 in Lower Bodham, it has a lovely homely feel and three generations of my family settled in quickly. The house and grounds are fantastic, we played tennis, lawn bowls, water fights with the kids in the spacious and well kept gardens. Beds, pillows and bedding were great, equipment in kitchen plenty, and lots of rooms for people to be. There were books and games, interesting art on the walls, and to top it all, the weather was perfect. We all had a fabulous time.
Bob
A 3 generation family holiday, the house was a good size, well equipped & comfortable. The grounds were great for the children & the 3 dogs to run & play in. The outside facilities were just what were needed for dining outside in the warm evenings we had.
